MiceChat Disney News Roundup

First signs of the holidays arrive at Disneyland as a ‘Good Dinosaur’ comes to California Adventure
You might blinks and miss it, but the first signs of the holidays have already popped up at Disneyland. Christmas lights are going up at “it’s a small world,” which is now closed to install its popular holiday overlay. Meanwhile, on Main Street, the China Closet is now fully stocked with holiday merchandise. Meanwhile, Main Street has new fall color with the return of the Flower Market and across the way, the Main Street Emporium has debuted its latest enchanted window. Over in Disney California Adventure, the bugs have taken a break to let The Good Dinosaur and his friends offer a sneak preview at the latest Pixar flick.

The annual MiceChat Invasion of Walt Disney World starts this week. We hope to see you there!!! Information on all of our meets and events is listed below.

We have a lot of magical fun have lined up for you this year. As always, feel free to join us for as much or as little of the following events as interest you! We will be visiting Epcot, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom.

Dinner at Splitsville (come join us!) – October 22

Splitsville-sliders

Join us for dinner and fun at the energetic Splitsville in Downtown Disney (or should we say “Disney Springs”). Dinner is at 7:30pm. You might even be able to convince Dusty to bowl. Quick grab a camera! This is a great spot for us to kick off our Invasion. To be added to our reservation, please contact Contact Teresa at Fairy Godmother Travel HERE

Sip and Nibble – October 23

Friday will be the always fun, often imitated, but never duplicated, Sip and Nibble at Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival. This is where we meet new and old friends, share food & drink, and try to make it through all the food and wine offerings. It’s an absolutely amazing day of food, drink and friendship!!! We’ll gather at the FESTIVAL WELCOME CENTER (located in Future World East) at 10:30 a.m. (the meeting location is on the outdoor ramp leading into the pavilion. In the event of rain, we’ll meet just inside the front door of the pavilion).

Take a leisurely stroll around World Showcase with us, sampling the food and wine offerings along the way. Each of us will have a lanyard with a marker attached so we can record our progress. Those who desire to partake of the adult beverages will also sport a small glass on a lanyard to conveniently share “sips” along the way. (It has been previously determined that a full portion of adult beverage in each country would doom the effort to certain failure – so we share as we go along.)

We each take turns buying drinks and food along the way, sharing with our fellow MiceChatters. As a result, we are able to sample a little something from each and every booth around the World Showcase.

P1130178

Last year we had an rollicking good time around the World Showcase Lagoon. In years past, we’ve even had Disney Legend Bob Gurr join us for our trip around the world.

P1130211

Our Sip and Nibble event has a small fee to cover the cost of lanyards, pens and shot glasses for attendees. if you can’t afford the fee, please come anyway. The more the merrier.

Animal Kingdom Adventure Day – October 24

Meet us at Animal Kingdom for an afternoon of adventure. Meetup location is at 12:30 near the MyMagic+ Service Center just to the left of the front entrance of the park. We’ll head off at 12:45 to have some fun in the park! Since many of us are having breakfast earlier that morning, we won’t be stopping for lunch. So, please take a moment to eat before arriving at the meet. We’ll have dinner at Flame Tree later that evening at 5pm (the restaurant closes at 5:30, so we’ll be prompt). Animal Kingdom closes at 6:30, so after dinner, we are up for potentially going to Downtown Disney for drinks at one of the new restaurant lounges. Twist our arms . . .
